[Tatanko]

Shame you're not going later in the week.

[liqidvenom]

if you were going later in the week i would go with you but i have work till thurs

[internetautomar]

well I made it here already.
straight shot down 80, steady cruise control at 70
no problems, saw several cops and none flinched when I went past.

You can easily do 75 on I-80, faster if you're vigilant. Ohio troopers are the worst in my experience, be careful in that state.

[internetautomar]

faster = lower mpg.

[VQuick]

The difference between 70 and 75 is negligible, whether you're talking time saved or gas saved. But sometimes every minute counts, and sometimes every dollar counts.

[internetautomar]

depends on the car.
our van takes a massive hit on mpg from 70-75

[VQuick]

True, but a van has a lot more wind resistance than a lowered Maxima. I got 29 MPG at 75+ interstate driving, including some AC use. I thought that was pretty good. Maybe I had a tailwind, but probably not because I was driving west for those 400 miles.

[internetautomar]

the van can do 30 mpg, If I want to drive at 55.
but at 70 it did 27, 75 knocked it down to 25 or less.

VQuick- you coming down?

[VQuick]

Possibly on Sunday...I'm really busy but I would love to meet everyone and check out their rides.

[internetautomar]

I'll be there on sunday.
I'm the one with the sentra with no front bumper and a WI plate on back
